How do I build steps on a garden slope?

How do I build steps on a garden slope? Probably about 5-6 steps over a soil bank.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about building steps in your garden.

Would it be possible for you to post a few photos of your garden area? This will give our members a chance to assess the area. We can then make suggestions on how to proceed.

Here are some fantastic garden step projects our Workshop members have shared:

If you need a hand posting the pictures, please let me know.

Evening @ArthurG

Will wait for some pics as well

But some things to consider.

The depth of the steps and how steep the slope is.

The height you may want of the steps. (having a step a different size to the rest can be an issue. My old steps had one and it was almost like a double step)

Test out a bunch of steps in your local area, down the park, beach, shopping center and take a tape measure (its what I will be doing) I have a set of steps I need to put in (will be a gabion style base so thats going to be interesting with a timber tread top) I also have to make up a temporary staircase/steps so my way of thinking is the hard work is done allready, I just need to copy
